RSA SecurID 6.1 RADIUS Server Configuration

I'm using a SecurID appliance together with my Cisco ASA to authenticate VPN users. I also have a Cisco wireless LAN controller, and would like to use SecurID to authenticate WLAN users. Problem is, the ASA supports SecurID's native SDI authentication mode, but the WLC only supports RADIUS.

I found a Cisco guide, which details how to get the WLC talking to SecurID via RADIUS, but I've run into a problem when setting up the built-in SecurID RADIUS server. In Authentication Manager, under the RADIUS menu, I select Manage RADIUS Server, and receive the warning message 'RADIUS Server has not been configured'.

I've Googled this and come up empty. I do not have a current RSA support agreement, but I contacted my sales rep, and he told me that the RADIUS server is included with the appliance, so I should already have everything I need. I just need a guide or some help on getting the SecurID RADIUS server working.

As far as configuring a radius server:
First thing you have to make sure is that you add the cisco wireless LAN controller's IP as a client on the RADIUS server that came with secureID with a secert (password that is used to authenticate the messages).
Check the log on the radius server to see whether you were getting errors dealing with invalid/unknown client, ignoring message
Presumably RSA has a knowledge base/guides for just such an occasions.

The only options I see in the appliance are what I detailed above in my original question. I contacted my sales rep and apparently the RSA RADIUS server is a separate piece of software that runs on another server, which explains why I couldn't find anything on the appliance to configure. He said he would get a copy of the RADIUS server and e-mail it to me since I don't have a support agreement and can't access the download on their website. So I guess this question is solved.
